- Need something to keep your precious things safe? Have a diary you want to keep away from your siblings? Make the TokySafe to keep your belongings locked up somewhere safe.
- The TokySafe is an easy project that requires only a few steps and materials. The servo motor acts as a locking mechanism. Once the servo motor is turned with a potentiometer, it keeps the box locked. To unlock the safe, press your combination, turn the potentiometer the other way, slide and pull the drawer out. Now you can keep your precious things safe!
- What’s great about the TokySafe is you can code your own lock combination and change it to keep it a secret from thieves. Detach the Tokymaker to use for another project if you want. The TokySafe will be locked until called for. Below is an example lock combination.
Lock Combination
The lock combination is:
- Press Button A
- Touch Touch Pad 2
- Touch Touch Pad 3
Pressing the lock combination will allow you to turn the potentiometer to lock or unlock your safe.
To lock/reset the Tokysafe, touch Touch Pad 1.
